EDIT: Fixed! Thanks Tripper for the insight!
CFD image of a Formula 3 car for your time.
I have a server to use as a CFD solver / whatever else I can number-crunch for personal projects, currently running Windows 7. I’m remoted in no problem, has network access on a workgroup (no domain), it’s stable.
I’m trying to set up a share HDD so I can prep/mesh solves on my main computer then copy them over without having to FTP in. I can copy to the Public folder no problem, however that’s on a smaller SSD and I’m not wanting to waste writes and storage space on that drive. I can create a Project folder on a different drive that shares just fine across the network, however I’m getting permission denied and all my attempts to add my main computer user to the allowed list isn’t working. In essence I am unable to add user “COMPUTER\\tromoly” to a permissions list for a shared folder on “SOLVER\\sherlock” (yes that’s the username and intentional).
Internet searches have been the equivalent of “add your user and it works!”, but I just can’t get it to work. Any thoughts on what to try? Thanks in advance for any help.

Can you get into the advanced menu under the sharing tab within the folder in question? If so go there, disable inheritance then add yourself and “everyone” with full control. Then try your sharing settings again.

Workgroup.

Can SOLVER\\sherlock see COMPUTER\\Tromoly on the network? and are you trying to add permissions to SOLVER\\Sherlock as Admin or SU? Also are Both computers on the same network or at least VPN to the same one? I’d try the share in reverse and make sure it’s not a network issue.
Side note I work for Solver.com (Frontline Systems)

Thanks dude! I didn’t find inheritance, but did find where to add “Everyone” to the ownership, that’ll do for now. Thanks again!

Same workgroup, for some reason I can’t add \\COMPUTER\tromoly to the user list but if I set “Everyone” with full permissions it works. I’ll probably dive deeper later, just wanting to get the system fully set up first. Thanks for the insight!

You made a username sherlock on purpose?

Going to explore OpenFoam, once I get things set up properly. If I can beg/borrow SolidWorks licenses from friends I might try that, and if I can luck into someone with extra Fluent seats that’d be a pipedream.
